first night in his own bed
in Baby
Hi Ladies
As many of you would have read, we have had a few issues with our little boy. So, tonight i've decided (since his dad is on nights) that its a good time to try his own bed. He's had a full bottle, in his sleeping bag, night show and monitor on, and i've also plugged in a vapouriser for his cold. Have been back up once to replace dummy and switch back on light show. I'm only intending to go back up when he is crying to soothe as he has a tendancy to whinge quite alot.
Am i doing the right thing ? He's almost 12 weeks but hates his moses basket and will only sleep on one of us which is really taking its toll.
How long did it take for your LO's to get used to their own bed ?

well he slept from 8.30 until 01:20 in his bed, then woke up and would not go back down so ended up in with me, am convinced it was because his nose got too blocked from him being flat and his wind played up, longest he has ever slept. he woke few times but settled hinself.

really hoping you have a good night tonight as well - do you go to bed as soon as he goes down so you get sleep? I also went to bed at 8pm when toby went down - then changed that to 9pm when he slept a little longer, now i really push the boat out and go to bed about 10pm - woop woop - x
We have the angelcare monitor aswell, I was awake until he woke up as the beeps were irritating me. Tonight we're staying down my mums which is probably not ideal as we should do every night, but nights on my own with LO gets quite groundhog day as hubs is nights. Maybe its to do with his feed aswell as he doesn't drink much during the day no matter how much i try so wakes for food in the night even though he's on hungry baby.
